A professionally led private wine tasting in Florence.
Each Italian wine region has its own character with so many variables that it is fascinating to learn what distinguishes one from the other.
The rolling hills of Tuscany are world famous as one of the most important wine making areas in Italy. Set in several Florence wine bars, our Vino 101 tasting allows wine lovers to sip, acquire and understand – in a relaxed environment – the nuances of different wines and the importance of food & wine pairings.
A wine expert provides an overview of local winemaking with lively discussion about production method, local grape varieties and wine culture in general, to better understand why these elements are essential to the taste and fragrance of each bottle.
By the end of the evening guests’ deeper understanding of Italian wines is guaranteed to help better describe, discern and select the wine most suitable to their tastes.
